"It's a very exclusive club. Your body is 87 years old - it has to be, otherwise you can't be in that club - and your mind has to be at 30. You can't have an 87 year-old body and an 87 year-old mind. You're not in the club."
"That's the 8787 Club."
"That's the 8787 Club. That's one club you don't want to be in."
